OBJECTIFIED
Barthes said masculinity/femininity were created by society
- ideology
- stereotype
- representation - re-presenting an image
- Laura Mulvey
Representation
- Describes the signs that stand in for and take the place of something else
- It is through representation that people know and understand the world and reality through the act of naming it. Signs are manipulated in order to make sense of the world.
Re-present
mise en scene
sound
camera shots
framed composition
resemble - signs/signifier
we pay attention to these biased interpretations of reality to make sense of reality
making sense of reality - realism - verisimilitude
signs help us decipher what exactly is being represented. i.e - glasses + bow tie + pocket protector = nerd
